Yes its true. The quarter is coming up here at my company and I get 2 round trip tickets to give away to any 2 people I choose. I decided I am going to be a nice guy and have a contest on ezabel to see who gets them. Its as simple as this:
1)Contact me via EzabelMail
2) Pick a destination (list of places below)
3) Tell me why you want to go

Its as simple as that. I will view all entries and determine a winner soon.
Note these tickets are standby on my airline but there are usually jump seat privileges

Are these good from any originating airport?
Are there layovers?

aviator #1.1 aviatorOG 2004

No this is good only from the airports listed above. The airport in NYC is JFK.

aviator #1.2 aviatorOG 2004

If you fly out of NYC there are usually no layovers. Most flights are direct

skaorsk8 #2 skaorsk8OG 2002

ok, I just sent my story and reason i would kill for those tickets....please keep me posted.

tinser #2.1 tinserOG 2002

i sent my story too aviator

iwz #3 iwz

I deserve the tickets because I made eZabel. This preempts all other users of the site.

It is only out of the kindness of my heart that I even allowed everyone else to even see this contest, so that proves I am truly a nice guy and worthy of these tickets.

In conclusion, if you do not choose to give the tickets to me, you will be banned. I also have your name and address.

Thank you!

aviator #3.1 aviatorOG 2004

haha do you? I am at the company office. Good luck trying to get that info considering we have a really cool deal with Verizon. Haha IWZ I will get you a metrocard for going around NYC. 2 buck fare.

punkprincess #3.1.1 punkprincessOG 2001

thefunkyfresh #3.2 thefunkyfreshFounder

haha!! wow. you lose!

malibu #3.3 malibuOG 2001

hahahahah that was so hysterical.

skaorsk8 #3.4 skaorsk8OG 2002

this is clearly an abuse/mis-use of power.

beachbum #4 beachbumOG 2002

CRAP. if only you had said this two weeks ago. i just booked tix to w. palm. though they were cheap, free is better. man, and i would have a really good story of why i need to go, too.

socalgal #4.1 socalgalOG 2003

psst, janine....send a story, some of the tickets are to come out here...summer, california, surf contests, beach.... =)

skaorsk8 #4.1.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

hahah that's what i put...

beachbum #4.1.2 beachbumOG 2002

haha OOOOOR since there is only 2 tix maybe you should get them and you and a friend can come visit US. there are too many of us wanting to go out there.

reaf #5 reafOG 2002

"thinking to self" (I wonder how many sob storys you are getting.)

aviator #6 aviatorOG 2004

FYI I just want to mention it will be 2 or 3 months before I even see these TICKETS you all want so dont tell me a story that requires SHORT NOTICE.

skaorsk8 #6.1 skaorsk8OG 2002

good lord you mention this now?? well i'm still in. yea mang!

ilikebirds #7 ilikebirdsOG 2002

Give me the tickets because i'm asian and i'm short.

And i have your mother hostage.

aviator #7.1 aviatorOG 2004

haha well you were doing good up until the mother hostage part. Haha about your comment on Israel its funny you mentioned that. The El Al Airplanes at this airport are some of the highest secure planes here. Outside of the planes are vehicles with tinted windows full of armed security with assault rifles and machine guns out the butt.

thefunkyfresh #8 thefunkyfreshFounder

when is the contest deadline? I think it would be cool to post the top entries at the end. i'll email u mine soon

aviator #8.1 aviatorOG 2004

haha It will be a while. At minimum a month.

ilikebirds #9 ilikebirdsOG 2002

My Entry:

I want to go to iraq. So I can bomb people and yell out
"KAAAAAAAAH-BLOOEY". That and I love Camels. They have really weird Toes.

or

I want to go to israel. So when I'm dancing a girl will say " Oh wow you dance so good that this club is falling apart, kosher kosher we killed jesus" and then i'd say " No, thats just a car bomb"

or

KILL BOB,

specialk #10 specialkOG 2003

Might I ask, where in the Dominican Republic? Anywhere near Punta Cana? THAT would be of great interest to me.

socalgal #10.1 socalgalOG 2003

its by puerto rico

aviator #10.1.1 aviatorOG 2004

In Puerto Rico we go to Aquadilla and San Juan. In the DR we go to Santiago and Santo Domingo.

specialk #10.1.1.1 specialkOG 2003

Gracias, mi amigo!!

specialk #10.1.2 specialkOG 2003

Hehehe....aw, Gina...I know where the D.R. is....but I was just curious as to where in the D.R. the flight goes to. Punta Cana is in the D.R.

You're so cute for helping, Gina. :)

aviator #11 aviatorOG 2004

I would just like to add one thing about these requests. Please do not tell me info I should not know like your financial status and stuff because thats really not my business. But if you want to tell me you wanna visit a special person or something and why they are so special or a special spiritual goal you would like to achieve that is greatly appreciated.

Marco

yay #12 yayOG 2004

unfortunately, the tickets are worthless to me, very simply i need two planes or more when traveling. (1) one for me, because i am winner, and (2) another for my homo mutzu sword that I use to make dinner in the matrix. My homo mutzu sword is so huge I need a boeing 747 and a cargo ship to sychronize paths along the atlantic ocean so that it can be carried across. Of course, I don't NEED the homo mutzu sword because I am savior and king of all computers, but it does help chop huge scrumptious carrots I prepare for a beastly family of five. Thanks for the offer though.

aviator #12.1 aviatorOG 2004

haha consider yourself disqualified LOL

ilikebirds #13 ilikebirdsOG 2002

I want to go to Dominican Republic where there are an obscene number of Kids with Cancer and no medical or doctoral help.

To say no to me, Is saying No to cancer kids ...

You will be kill hundreds of children born into poverty by saying no to me.

You will be saying that you alone hate kids with cancer.

Shame. On. YOU.

aviator #13.1 aviatorOG 2004

haha dude thats just wrong.

ilikebirds #13.1.1 ilikebirdsOG 2002

violetboregaurd #13.2 violetboregaurdOG 2003

i was there over the summer... it was beautiful!! the people are really simple, they live with next to nothing but they have so much more than the US. Their families are all very close, neighborhoods are more like playgrounds than anything... i loved it. I have some amazing pictures.

juicymango #13.2.1 juicymangoOG 2003

oooh that sounds so cool, I wanna see pics!
